Kenderaan Moden Yang Diinspirasikan Dari Biawak Komodo
Bila sebut biawak, nak nak lagi biawak komodo, tentu ramai yang
terbayang kengerian, kegelian dan kehodohan binatang yang satu ini.
Lagipun, ia adalah haiwan pembangkai yang sentiasa dikaitkan dengan
sifat pengotornya.
Tapi, sehodoh-hodoh haiwan ini, ada syarikat automotif yang mengambil
idea darinya dalam menghasilkan sebuah kenderaan SUV yang diberi nama
KOMODO:
The very first word that I uttered
upon setting my eyes on the image of the vehicle is a bit too strong for
the print. Suffice that the word has currency far and wide and it begins with the letter ‘F’ and no its not (F-I-S-H)!
The images you see here are a study by one Mr. Makrand Patil,
understandably, from the celebrated Istituto Europeo di Design, Turin
whither he received his rightful degree. The vehicle in these pics,
Komodo, is an SUV design which Makrand completed in collaboration with
Mahindra.
Conforming to the dragon of Komodo Island, the vehicle in question
looks as menacing as the very Monitor it has been named upon, and one
can be sure that if brought into production, it will bite like one too.
The rear, or what could be seen of the rear, of the vehicle looks as
beautifully chiselled as the one seen on a Merc CLS from early 2000 (or
does it?). The face, on the other hand, is qualified enough to smite the
eye of the onlooker with its huge, recessed nostrils. A Dakar
dune-buggy designed for daily use; and paid up by a Sheikh, would look
similar to this concept.
Allow me to point your attention to those huge wheels and the knobby
tires! They give one the idea that they would take you up to the Mars if
you care to lay up a surface for them to grip upon. And given the
expanse of the vehicle, the interiors should, one would believe, have
enough and more space for a few recliners along with 65” plasma
home theatre system.
An incredibly bold attempt by Mr. Patil, we say!
Would Mahindra care to build it then? They have the funds and
temerity to give the designer a free reign, why not! Or if you aren’t
interested, Mahindra,
shall we pass the design along to the Jabalpur Vehicle Factory? Perhaps
an army commander from western sector will find it his worthwhile.
Or, if you, my discerning reader, wish for the Komodo and really want to hustle it up, call up DC in Mumbai.
